Stayed here last night . After reading some reviews I was worried but certainly cannot complain. Room was very clean and comfortable and over looking Chinese gardens .
Having paid more than $400 for a night ( when children apparently sleep for free ) I am unsure why it cost so much when I can see rates aren't always so...

In Planning a short getaway with my wife and our kids, we wanted to book somewhere that meant we were close enough for the kids to go off and do their own things every now and then like go visit the aquarium or the iMax theatre, but also close to restaurants etc. so we could indulge in Sydney's great food...

Stayed here last minute for Chinese New Year celebrations. Checked in just on 2pm so was busy. Our 9 month old daughter was tired and getting fidgety waiting so a staff member gave her a small Novotel penguin to keep. It was a small gesture but kept our little girl happy.
Clean room, comfy bed, lovely warm shower too. Had...

This property is very centrally located in Darling Harbour, one of the main reasons i chose the hotel when looking for a place to celebrate my anniversary with my girlfriend.
I was looking for an amazing room and I was not dissappointed. The hotel offers clean and well appointed rooms, which we were both thoroughly pleased with.
The customer service...

Arrived to stay for the Australia Day weekend. Had booked an executive room with access to the club lounge. On checkin I asked what time the happy hour in the club lounge was. The person on the front desk burst out laughing and said they don't do that in Australia. Although I was welcome to go there and make an...

Ugh! Another Novotel hotel on our tour. Again the hotel is understaffed. Our rooms were not tended to until very late in the day. The location is fabulous: walking distance to so many things, Darling Harbor, China Town, the Aquarium, CBD, the rocks area etc. overall for me, I'd rate the hotel a 3 (tired rooms, understaffed).
